Today, I had the pleasure of conducting 6 Bricks training with our staff—how cute is baby bear in his high chair!

Watching our team getting excited about new ways to incorporate this tool into their teaching is inspiring. #EducationInnovation #PlayfulLearning #TeacherTraining

.@k_shelton drops truth bombs on #AI in education! 💣

Before jumping on the AI bandwagon, he says look at who's behind the curtain. Demand diverse & inclusive dev teams that put students first. 👨🏾‍💻👩🏽‍💻

Ask tough Qs about legality, ethics & long-term impact. 🤔

It's on us to hold #EdTech accountable! 🗣️

Would you want to be a teacher on your staff as a principal?

I have often asked teachers, would you want to be a learner in your own classroom, but the question above for administrators could be even more critical. If we do not support those closest to students every day in an effective manner, it is much harder for things to improve in schools.

If we want learning to look different in classrooms, then leadership must also evolve.

This doesn’t mean that everything done in the past has been wrong. Some things that mattered 50 years ago will matter now, both in learning and leadership.

But replicating everything that was done in the past, whether it was effective or not, isn’t a great strategy for moving schools forward. I was blessed to learn from some amazing principals in my career, but I also learned about things that I hated as a teacher and swore that I would do my best not to replicate those strategies.

I wrote this in my upcoming book co-authored with Allyson Apsey (@AllysonApsey) titled, “What Makes a Great Principal”:

“If we do things in our schools and classrooms that were done hundreds of years ago that still work today, we should continue to do them. On the other hand, if we do new stuff just because it is new, but it doesn’t work, we shouldn’t be doing it. Whatever works for our community is where our focus should be, no matter when it originated.”

What worked in the past? What would you change? What would you have wanted as a teacher, and how can you make that happen?

Simply replicating the strategies of the past, whether good or bad, will not necessarily lead education to a better future.

Innovation is crucial to leadership as much as it is to teaching and learning.

When students own their learning, they view mistakes as learning opportunities.

AI can help teachers with test creation, lesson planning, & writing instructions—but the concern that the end of human teaching is near is premature. 🤖⁠ ⁠
